"Where can one be?" This is the question that needs to be answered for people that want to learn Torah? Some of the really great yeshiva like Ponovictch or Brisk are for smart guys. What if one is not so smart but still want to learn Torah?
Sadly most yeshivas nowadays are scams and pretend to answer this question when they go around to rich Jews trying to charity for their supposed public charitable works. The general run of the mill yeshiva is a private club for the mahco man and his gang of thugs and has nothing to do with learning Torah.
So the question that a simple Jew asked me, "where can one be?" goes unanswered. There simply is no place for a guy to go to sit and learn Torah for a few hours per day. Not if he is sincere. [Mea Shearim he called "מאה רשעים" "a hundred wicked" Mea Reshaim]
This question has bothered me for along time. To some degree the Shar Yashuv Yeshiva in Far Rockaway was an answer for this dilemma because it was not specifically for smart guys. Nor was it a scam to make a slave population for the rosh yeshiva. It was genuinely for the sake of learning Torah for whom so ever wanted to do so.
